6.1 Displaying and Configuring Data
The PT878GC allows you to view from one to four different measurement parameters simultaneously. The screen can
show these parameters not only in numeric format, but as line or bar graphs as well.
You can configure any given measurement for your particular requirements. To configure an individual
measurement, press [SEL] from the Operate Mode window shown in Figure 2-5 on page 2-9. A cursor appears next to
the parameter closest to the upper left corner. Continuing to press [SEL] enables the cursor to scroll through the
other displayed measurements. Once you have reached a particular window, pressing the [ENTER] button opens the
menu for that window, as shown in Figure 86 below.
